Using Full Check to check for inaccessible fonts

The Full Check feature can determine whether the fonts in the document are accessible to assistive technology, such
as screen readers. Fonts must contain enough information for Adobe Reader and Acrobat to correctly extract all the
characters to text for assistive technology. If one or more fonts don't allow for the correct extraction of all the
characters, the Adobe PDF document is inaccessible, and you should stop working on the document for accessibility.
Although this kind of accessibility problem is rare, checking for it will save you time and effort.
To check for font problems, select Reliable Character Encoding Is Provided in the Accessibility Full Check dialog box.
Depending on the font error, Full Check may identify the pages where the problems exist and highlight specific
characters on the page. You should decide whether the font problems are critical. For instance, if the problem
characters are the bullets in a list, the document is probably still accessible. If Full Check reports a font problem but
doesn't call out any instances of it, go to File > Document Properties and review the fonts that are listed in the Fonts
tab. If you have access to the source file of the PDF document, consider substituting different fonts for those that are
currently used, and then regenerating the PDF document.
